It's not much but we had a little swamp job that only required stoning the poles but it was still fun! I only got to be on it the first day to set the poles! We used the digger to set the poles and then I grabbed them with the flex so we could swing a stone bag over to the pole and fill'em in!

We have a pad under the outrigger and it was solid ground! I went over in a tree bucket once cuz I let my crew leader tell me the landscape timber under the rigger would hold so I pay very close attention to them now!!

That white stuff was lovely snow!!! We got more just the other day but it's gonna be gone again soon! That flex track has a great boom but the vehicle sucks!!! It has barely enough power to pull itself up a slight bank and is heavy as hell!! Supposedly these flex's are normally used for dump trucks in mines?

I was actually kind of surprised to see that ya'll have equipment like that up there. I think it's pretty cool that you have stuff like that. Think about the baddest think you might see west of here is a line truck equipped with balloon tires to go in the sand or maybe a mule-atv to get out in the right away after a rain storm.

Hmmm....can't forget the backyard machine with a wireless remote control!

Yeah we got remote backyard machines and even a few remote digger trucks but unfortunately some of our equipment like the flex and backyard machines are shared with a lot of other headquarters so it's hard to get them!

Yuck...I hate that. Then when you go to get the equipment you'll find some other dudes spit cup inside there and the damn fuel tank be empty. I hate using borrowed equipment.

alot of bad things happen when guys unfamiliar with the machines use them. stuff goes missing, things get broke and no one says anything. I wish every bard had their own stuff. trouble is Transportation tracks the use on everything. If a barn dosen't use something for awhile, transportation takes it away and auctions it off.
